1.1.3 details from the Steve Jobs keynote speech

Tuesday, January 15th, 2008

Remember -  if you update to 1.1.3 right away, it’ll be a while before the unjailing procedure is ready.  If you really want the new apps more than the third-party stuff you have now, fine, but keep in mind that there might not be an easy path back to your current hacked state.  That said, here’s some notes from Steve’s speech as it happens:

Looks like iPod touch gets 5 new apps, nothing surprising, they’re the iPhone apps that don’t need phone or camera functions, which I remember writing about as easy add-ons months ago here. Maps, notepad, stocks, weather, and mail. OK, nice, but not a surprise or anything earth-shattering.

There’s something called webclips for both the iPhone and iPod Touch. Lets you add bookmarks as icons to your main screen, you can have as many as 9 of them. Looks like Apple is using the same side-scrolling for pages of apps that the mods folks found a month or three ago.
